本稿は、電力部門の深い脱炭素化における炭素税や排出権取引（ETS）の役割を分析。炭素価格は発電のメリットオーダーを変え短期的な燃料転換を促すが、ネットゼロ達成には不十分であり、技術補助金や効率基準などの補完的政策が必要と結論づける。
English
This paper analyzes the role of carbon pricing (taxes and ETS) in deep decarbonization of the electricity sector. It finds that while pricing alters the merit order and incentivizes short-term fuel switching, it is insufficient for net-zero due to issues like price volatility and lock-in. Complementary policies such as technology subsidies, efficiency standards, and infrastructure investments are essential for a robust, equitable transition.

📄 Abstract（原文）
This article examines the role of carbon pricing mechanisms—specifically, carbon taxes and Emissions Trading Systems (ETS)—in driving deep decarbonization in the electricity sector. While carbon pricing effectively alters the merit order of power generation and incentivizes short-term fuel switching from coal to lower-carbon alternatives, relying solely on price signals is insufficient for achieving net-zero targets. The analysis highlights that pricing mechanisms must navigate challenges such as price volatility, carbon lock-in, and adverse distributional impacts on consumers. Furthermore, standalone pricing often fails to spur the capital-intensive investments in firm low-carbon resources required to maintain long-term grid reliability. To address these distinct market failures, the study underscores the necessity of a comprehensive policy portfolio. Integrating carbon pricing with complementary measures—including targeted technology subsidies, energy efficiency standards, revenue recycling, and infrastructure investments—provides the most robust, equitable, and cost-effective pathway for the structural transformation of the power sector.
